Cover story from June 2, 2018 Barron's.
Deals mostly with safe withdrawal rate. Basically seems to say you need to be flexible, simplistic "4% WR" probably can't be blindly followed, especially with today's low interest rates and high stock valuations. Originator of 4% Rule Wm Bengen is cited, as are Pfau, Kitces and several others. Key factor in how aggressive you can be is how much of your income is guaranteed, via pension, SS, annuities or other.
